Software Publisher's Description

A Photoshop plug-in, which allows you to read NOAA marine charts. NOAA
marine charts are the standard raster charts and have the file
extension of .bsb and .kap. Once a chart is imported into Photoshop
you can print the chart, paste charts together to cover a larger area,
create and print your own custom charts to cover the area you want,
edit charts, and print a small area of a chart.

Version 1.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements or bug
fixes."
============================================
ALSO

http://www.apocgraphy.com/ChartbookMaker/Default.htm

"Chartbook Maker is a Windows program for creating chartbooks from
electronic charts.

Simply download and install Chartbook Maker to print nautical charts
using a regular printer.

It's free to try and easy to use.

What it does

Chartbook Maker lets you print nautical charts in full resolution
using a regular printer.

It does this by creating tiles in the same way as map books do for
street maps.
A section of each chart is printed to a separate page with references
to adjoining sections.
At the start of the booklet an index of the full chart is printed
along with the page numbers of the tiles.
It reads all NOAA BSB format charts.

What it is good for

There are a number of times when a chart book is handy:

* Your boat is too small to conveniently unfold a full sized
chart.
* You have electronic charts but don't want your laptop to get
wet.
* You want to keep all your charts in one easy to reference book.
* You have electronic charts but don't have a full size plotter to
print them out to scale.
* You like to write on your charts and don't want to ruin your
full sized charts.
* The software that came with your electronic charts sucks.
* General route planning and daydreaming.


Important note:
Chartbooks created with Chartbook Maker are not to be used for
navigation!
Only use certified charts from NOAA or other certified authority for
navigation."

YMMV
